On July 3rd, there was a concert and fireworks at the stadium in W.R. Our festivities are never on the 4th because the Air Force Reserve Band plays every year...and they are always booked somewhere else on the 4th. Anyway, this year, Matt wasn't able to go because he was sick. The kids and I met up with my parents. Since it was so packed (Lonestar was playing), we decided to find a seat outside of the stadium. And I'm so glad we did. Things got really behind and the fireworks (that were supposed to be around 9:30) didn't start until almost 11:00. If we had been in the stadium, the kids wouldn't have lasted. As it was, they had plenty of room to run and play (this means the very important option of freedom). Plus, the music wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear anything...like it would have been inside. I didn't take too many pictures (I didn't even take "my" camera), but here are a couple.
Grandma and Caroline were all dressed up in their patriotic wear!
This helicopter (which you can see was very close to us) took off directly over our heads. It was really cool. Plus...the pilot waved at us as they flew over. This is one of those things that just doesn't happen every day.

Wow! The kids lasted until an 11 o'clock start time? I'm not sure I would have lasted! That's pretty awesome that Lonestar was playing. Cute picture of Caroline and (Nana??). It's hard to keep all of the special grandparent names separate! I sometimes forget to call Kate's grandparents by their "names."
